I thought that title sounded so important and strong that I had to use it. I was going to write: Experiment, Week One but that’s not as strong.
I’ve always loved planning out my weekly meals. I don’t always do it, but I love when I do. It means when I get to the grocery I have a comprehensive list of what I’ll need to get me through the week. A wonderful feeling. Well this week hubby and spent a whole two minutes brainstorming what we’d like to eat this week. Then I made a grocery list. Then we took the kids and all went to the store. No one died. The End.
OK, I’ll be serious for a minute. It was fantastic and on Sunday morning we trekked out in the glorious snow to play and when we came home we started cooking (that’s yogipapa pulling yogiprincess up the huge hill with yogodoggie running alongside). Admittedly I did most of the cooking while he did the kidertainment (so a word) but when I did need help (thank you still hyperextended and painful thumb) he was right there. The meals are all cooked or assembled and ready to go for the week. I’m so excited.
This is one step toward a bigger goal of eating well. By not having to think about my meals for the coming week I’m ensuring we all eat a home made and relatively healthy meal. If I can do this for this week and next week then I can start to implement the next step: preparing healthier meals. I just don’t want to jinx this by trying to make huge changes all at once, you know?
My yoga practice this week has been fantastic, though not enough. I’ll get into more of that later with more pictures.
i am so envious! actually, i am inspired! i am doing the opposite – cooking healthier and working towards figuring out portions to have left overs and what would be good to eat left over! let’s see how long it takes us to cross over hehehe
